No-nonsense mom turns in her own son, 16, wanted in shooting at Florida 'teen takeover' as grandma hand-delivers suspect to police

It took only a half an hour for the mother of a suspected shooter in Florida to track down her 16-year-old son and force him to surrender after a violent 'teen takeover' left another teen with three gunshot wounds.

After hundreds of teenagers flooded Clearwater Beach on Sunday evening for a 'linkup,' Noel Marsh III, 16, was taken into custody in Haines City on Monday evening.

'We found his mother, and his mother did what was right,' Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

'She said, "he'll turn himself in as soon as I find him." About 30 minutes later, his grandmother drove up, let him out of the car, and drove off, and we took him into custody.'

The chaotic shooting just after 5pm left a 17-year-old shot in the arm, leg and chest allegedly by Marsh who has been charged with attempted second degree murder, police said.

Marsh allegedly fired the gun around seven times, police said.

The teenager was identified as a suspect after multiple people were detained by police after the shooting. According to police, the teen's mother tracked her son down after law enforcement approached her.

'He is very, very dangerous,' Judd added. 'And the irony of it, when we looked into his social media, he was throwing gang signs and trying to be cool, but we don't see any other evidence that he's a member of a gang.'

I like that: “He’ll turn himself in as soon as I find him.” I don’t think he had a choice.

The Clearwater authorities need to quickly and strongly deal with these “Din-Do-Nuffin” linkups and street violence.

Clearwater’s lifeblood is tourism and tourists aren’t going to want to pay $500 to $1,000 or more a night for a hotel room in the midst of “Din-Do-Nuffin” uprisings and shootings.

Sometimes parents try their best but still can’t control their kids or overcome the kids’ bad influences.

She is probably being insulted and condemned by the “hood” right now.

Always good to hear about the parent of a ‘teen’ doing what is right for a peaceful society. Some parents seem to lose their nerve/ authority once their child grows taller and heavier than they, the parent is, while other parents will not back down and will speak up to confront their child if serious mistakes have been made.

He’s just another black boy without a father around to teach him how to be a man.

I don’t think ma & grammy were thinking about anything but the risk the little brat put them at.

Were these just any teens or did they have something distinctive in common?
